Notes
Be sure to slice or dice your apples consistently so that they cook evenly.
Do not skip peeling the apples. Leaving the peels on will affect the consistency and texture of your crisp.
Adding flour to your apples will help ensure that your filling is not crumbly.
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your crisp at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
